Trouble from Moonshine Magic by Apricot Hounds

"Trouble" began with a slow-burning chord progression and a feeling we couldn’t quite shake. It’s a song about the weight we carry — the kind that lingers quietly beneath the surface. It also reflects the struggle to overcome those invisible blocks in our minds that hold us back: doubts, fears, and unspoken things. At the same time, Trouble explores how difficult it can be to navigate the music world itself — a journey that often feels like a labyrinth, full of dead ends, false starts, and moments of disorientation. With nylon guitar, brooding double bass, moody violin, and layered vocals, the track builds with a sense of unease and beauty. A recorded Kanjira adds a subtle, restless pulse, giving the rhythm an unpredictable, worldly edge. The song closes with a spacious, jazzy instrumental outro, featuring a violin solo inspired by Stéphane Grappelli — a final breath that lingers after the last note.
